24But King David replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying the full price. I will not take for the LORD what is yours, or sacrifice a burnt offering that costs me nothing.” 25So David paid Araunah six hundred shekels That is, about 15 pounds or about 6.9 kilograms of gold for the site.
26David built an altar to the LORD there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. He called on the LORD, and the LORD answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering. 27Then the LORD spoke to the angel, and he put his sword back into its sheath.
